and got a few cookies and a bottle refill at an aid station.
Mistake #3, unless "a few" is $50 worth of cookies and blow.
Did the ride on my Di2 bike, which has disc brakes and tubeless tires, wore my uber-expensive name-brand jersey, and used clipless pedals. (And somehow managed to NOT fall over.) Oh, and at one point I hopped on a guy's wheel without asking permission, and I also didn't wave at anyone.
But you probably did sign a piece of paper (or electronic equivalent) that waived all of your rights. (Mistake #4, if so.)
From what I've read on bf, many posters think I did at least one (probably several things) wrong this morning. But somehow, I managed to have a good time.
Well, in fairness, your wife paid me to do this.
